I went to Kroger yesterday.
The first shopping trip since March 13th. It was ok. I was in a hurry and was on the other side of town from Walmart. My daughter has ballet next door, and we are going out of town for the weekend so I had to get a few things, I knew I was buying a lot of Mega Event items, so checking out at Walmart would have taken some time.
This is the thing… I have priced matched mega event items at Walmart many times. It is really not a hassle, I just wasn’t going to make it over there yesterday and had to pack.
It was really sad checking out as I couldn’t help but watch and realize how many things I could have gotten REALLY cheap or free had my coupons doubled or tripled. As much as I never want to shop at Kroger again, if I am saving my family money I have to make that decision that my time and money are worth more than never going in again. BUT, I will NOT run into Kroger for a regular shopping trip, there are too many other choices and I 99% of the time go to Walmart. I can see myself going to Kroger maybe 3 times a year.

How do you price match mega events at walmart ?
Terrie, just take your kroger ad, go shopping at walmart, as you check out when you get to each item that is on the kroger ad, tell them you are price matching to kroger and tell them how much. Then you can still use your coupons on those items as normal.
so we are using the mega price ?
Yes it is the mega price as if you bought 10 and got the $.50 off.
I love your video! I especially love it that your 7 yr old was the videographer! Great job and great site!
I take it your Krogers have stopped doubling. I have recently moved to west TN from middle TN and our Krogers will double up to .60 Q. In middle they only do up to .50. Extra nice, SO I have stopped shopping Walmart for everything and now shop Krogers more.
I hear you on the double and triple Q’s…so SAD 🙁 I think about that the .35 could be 1.05…that .70 cents adds up over a course of a year..Esp. if it’s 10 times .70=$7 a week..I want my double and triple back!!
I can’t stand going to Kroger now. I’m always thinking how much I really could be saving if they still doubled & tripled coupons. Hope y’all have a great trip this weekend!!!
Did I miss something?? Why won’t you shop at Kroger anymore??
Oh they stopped doubling and tripling and I am throwing a temper tantrum! 🙂
OMG Tiffany! You are so thin, I would never imagine you’ve had 7 kids! I’ve only had 2 and I can’t lose my baby weight for the life of me. How do you do it??
Amber! Thank you! I almost didn’t post it because I think I look like crap… I hate seeing pictures of myself!
Seriously though, how do you do it??
Honestly, I stopped eating. No joke. Then I was grouchy so I have stopped eating carbs and sugar. Well, kinda. It has made a difference though, I still have 10-15 pounds to loose. But this is also the first time in 14 years that I have not been pregnant or nursing or both! My body hangs onto the fat to nurse I don’t loose it like lots of people! I was just eating too much so I cut the crabs and sugar and started paying attention to calories.
I second that! You look really great!
It worked out for me last week when they had P&G buy 4, get $4 off. I was able to load my Kroger card as well with good coupons and it was a pretty good deal.
Shopping at Kroger gives me a quesy stomach!
Wow…Avery you did an awesome job! and Wow…Tiffany, I agree with Amber that you look great! I wish I was that skinny after having my 7! 🙁
Tiffany,
Does Walmart make you buy 10 to match price?
thanks,
Julie
Julie, sometimes they will and some wont… it is really going to depend on your cashier
I live in North Houston and hate that Kroger stopped double/triple coupons! I try not to shop there but the mega events sometimes get me in the store. You’re so right that we could save so much more if they didn’t change the coupon policy:(
Thanks for taking the time to put this together! Avery did a great job…cute ending.
I always try to go to my Walmart on the same day, at the same time every week. There are two cashiers who are very helpful and never give me any trouble with my ads or coupons. I make it a habit to thank any customers in line behind me for their patience when I am done checking out. (Ads & coupons can take up a lot of time.)
Also, my Walmart in The Woodlands will price match to Food Town!…so thankful for that. I just print the ad online and take it with me.
I went to Kroger yesterday and did pretty good. I bought mostly mega event items and used a lot of coupons. I got 6 boxes of GM cereal, 10 nabisco snack cups, 8 Kraft mac n cheese cups, 5 juices bottles, 4 capri suns juice pouch boxes, 1 minute maid juice, big bag of fish sticks, 3 DiGiorno large rising crust pizzas,2 Domino sugars 4 lb bags and 3 tide liquid detergents and paid $72 after coupons. None of my coupons would’ve been able to be doubled even if they did still offer it which I’m still bummed that they don’t. I would’ve taken the ad to Walmart and price matched but with three kids in tow, they don’t have that much patience.
Sacrilege! :o) Last night on one of the late news shows, there was a blurb about a store quitting coupons altogether. Do you know which one, or what the story was about? Have fun in NY!
That was so stupid! Everything they were reporting was old news!
I hate it that my Krogers in the DFW area just went to not doubling any longer. Kroger was my favorite but now I will most likely begin shopping elsewhere.
Well, at least you have a Kroger. We have HEB and they do not triple or double or ever put anything on sale when there is a valid coupon for it. They don’t put much on sale at all and when they do it’s something like buy doritos at regular price, get HEB brand doritos free, so there is nothing to price match with at Walmart.
Yeah here in College Station our Kroger doesnt double or triple anymore either and yeah the HEB doesnt seem to like us to use coupons cause they sure never have sales that we can use them on!!
Hey Leia!!! It’s Melony! How’s the couponing going??
